Background Therapeutic hypothermia, later rebranded as targeted temperature management, became a standard post-cardiac arrest therapy for comatose patients after two 2002 NEJM trials ( n=273 and n=77 ) suggested reducing core temperature to 32°C to 34°C markedly improved neurologic outcomes and survival.

In the bleeding trauma patient, fluid resuscitation aims to avoid the diamond of death (acidosis, coagulopathy, hypothermia and hypocalcaemia). It can cause significant internal injuries, including carotid artery dissection, stroke, and acquired brain injury, but in 50% of patients, there are no external signs of injury.

Neonatal hypotension can result from inadequate cardiac output, low systemic vascular resistance, or a combination of both, which are influenced by: Cardiac Output: Neonates, particularly preterm ones, may have compromised cardiac output due to myocardial immaturity, leading to reduced stroke volume and heart rate.

Both can result in heat exhaustion and heat stroke and have many overlapping symptoms. Patients with heat stroke have hot, dry skin and altered mental status (e.g., C, and heat stroke occurs at a core temperature > 40°C. As you attempt to examine the patient, he has a generalized, tonic-clonic seizure.
